Taqueria Don Jose

Super burrito is super. Grilled chicken tacos are great.

This place reminds me of the «viva mexico» style from the 90’s, very colorful and fun interior. The joint is small only 3 booths and 1 table, but that’s good because its main customers are working people from local businesses having takeout lunch. I thought the food was good, the price was fair and the chips and salsa were free. yay ! I’m a fan.

Awesome ceviche and camaron tostadas, very cheap and very fresh. Some of the best in Sonoma county that I have tasted. Great fresh salsa bar, decorative booths and lots of photos of the food so you know exactly what you are ordering is going to look like.

I had the super nachos and she had the flautas. The carne asada was very well prepared and everything tasted very fresh. We especially enjoyed the glass bottle Coca Colas. It made for a nice weekend lunch stop.

I eat here a lot. Since I wrote my first review I have prolly been back 10 or 15 times.
The breakfast burritos is what had me coming by last friday. I picked up some to go on our way to a golf tourney.
The jamon one is (lunch meat ham) but full of meat and all the other good ness you expect in a breakfast burrito.
The Chorizo (what I got) was jam packed with meat and egg and potatoes and ohhhhh sooo delish.
Both came with chips, and were $ 5.50 each. Gotta love that, and I had enough little cups to fill up one of each from the salsa bar — score!
love this little gem. I’ve been for lunch once or twice too, but I usually still order the breakfast menu. although the cerviche is very good and so are the al pastor tacos. Great staple items to go for every time you are here!

One of the worst parking lots

I stopped in and picked up an Al Pastor torta for lunch today — not only because I was hungry but also because I needed to feed the Unilocal addiction.
Anyway, I’ll start off by saying the prices are excellent. My torta was $ 4 and everything else was reasonably priced. It’s increasingly rare to find a lunch that actually fills you up for less than $ 5 these days!
However, the quality of the meat was a major problem — at least today. It was so overcooked and burned that at times I forgot what I was eating. I’m not sure if the Al Pastor was spiced right because all I could taste was charcoal.
On the other hand, the bread was good and fresh, as were the chips. The green and hotter red salsas were both really flavorful too.
It’s possible that I came at a bad time for the meat, so I wouldn’t write this place off just yet.
